    Acting Verbs

    The following list of actor's verbs are useful for connecting with your character's goal(s) in a scene. Also
    known as OBJECTIVES or MOTIVATION, chose one that best fits your part.

    Note that these verbs are PLAYABLE and not vague. You could say "I want her to understand that I
    need to go off into battle." However, it is much more powerful (and playable) to say "I want to
    convince her that I need to go off into battle."

    The VERB is directed toward a RECEIVER for a DESIRED RESPONSE:


    "I want to thank Steve so that he won't think..."
    "I want to encourage Steve to succeed."
    TACTICS are used to achieve your OBJECTIVE. The choice of a tactic usually depend on
    the type of obstacle.
    She wants to make him jealous to get back at him by going out with one of his friends.
